Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 384
The fifth update is here, and the [-] monthly ticket will be added!
Xiao Hei is eighteen this year, but he is already an old soldier.

He is from Zhangqiu Changbai Township. He was originally an orphan boy. Later, he was selected by Luo Cheng to be Changbai Township Yong. He followed Luo Cheng from the township regiment to the county camp and then to the military mansion, suppressing bandits and thieves, and then went north to Zhuojun Going out to conquer the Liao Dynasty, one battle after another was fought. In a few years, luck was relatively good. He was neither blind nor lame, and his life was still alive.

It's just that compared to many of the brave comrades who once joined the army, Xiao Hei's military achievements are mediocre, and to be honest, he is a bit timid. When others charge bravely, he is always a little timid.So even Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu, who are only 16 years old, have become lieutenants. When he was in the sixth rank, he was only a lieutenant.

Even the position of deputy of this team is actually because of his old qualifications. Otherwise, with his performance, he really can't be the deputy of this team.

In the beginning, Xiao Hei was a swordsman, but later because of his poor performance and poor skills, the swordsman who jumped into battle was not suitable for him, so he changed to a crossbowman.

But the little black crossbow shot was too inaccurate, so he changed to a spearman again.

Most of the 200 teenagers who joined the regiment with him back then are still alive, and a small half of them stayed in Changbai Mountain in Zhangqiu. Most of those who survived the previous bandit suppression came to Liaodong.Of these old brothers, the best ones are naturally Du Fuwei Fu Gonghu, Luo Qiluojiu and others, not to mention Luo Cheng's brothers and brother-in-law.

These people are either generals or lieutenants, at least they are partial generals, and at worst they are basically mixed up as battalion captains and lieutenants.

Only he, Xiao Hei, is still only a team lieutenant, and he is in the spear team of the most unpromising infantry battalion.

It's just that Xiao Hei is very satisfied with his current situation. After all, a few years ago, he was an orphan who ate a lot of food and wore a hundred clothes. He barely survived starvation with the help of his clan folks.Although the position is not high now, the biggest advantage of the Luo Family Army is the good benefits.

Even if you failed to kill the generals and capture the flag on the battlefield, the Luo family's army puts more emphasis on collective military merit. As long as you are not a deserter, even if you killed fewer people on the battlefield, you will still have a share of credit, and this reward is not too short.

It's just that he's not brave enough, after all, it's hard to get promoted, but the reward is quite a lot.

Many fellow countrymen have received rewards, and they spend money lavishly. After the rewards are awarded, or the spoils are shared, these people will spend the money to go to the women's camp twice, or wait for the holidays to buy wine and meat together for a happy meal. But Xiao Hei was reluctant to spend money like this.

Every time he gets the money, he always takes a small change in his hand, and then deposits the whole number with the army, and asks the helper to send it home when he has the opportunity.

Xiao Hei is an orphan, his parents died early, but there are still several younger brothers and sisters in the family.Xiao Hei, who is very close to himself, is always generous to his younger brothers and sisters. He is reluctant to wear and change those high-quality cloth rewards, but he is willing to send them home directly for his younger brothers and sisters to make new clothes.

Xiao Hei's biggest wish is to buy [-] mu of land at home after the Eastern Expedition is over, and then build a big house. As big as that is good.

He often counts his own money, the money saved at home, and the money he deposited with the army.

Many fellow villagers ridiculed Xiao Hei for not daring to work hard, saying that if he did not dare to work hard, he would not be able to earn an official position. After all, those who could achieve fame without tucking their heads in their waistbands were the children of noble families, not grassroots like them.But every time Xiao Hei just smiled at the words of his fellow villagers, it wasn’t that he was really timid, it was just that he had too many concerns, and there were several young siblings at home, and his parents left early, so the clan couldn’t take care of them.

He deeply remembers the days when he used to eat wild vegetables without a single meal. Now that he is in the army, as long as he does not die, he will always get a lot of rewards every time he ends a battle. If he takes the money home, he can support himself. Brothers and sisters.

The younger brothers and sisters are still young, and he plans to send them to study and enlightenment. In the future, he will buy land and build a house, and marry them.

What would they do if he died in battle?
Pyongyang City was finally breached. When Xiao Hei cheered with his brothers, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He finally survived another big battle. This time he defeated the enemy's capital, and the rewards would certainly not be small.Perhaps the Eastern Expedition will end soon, and he may be able to return to his hometown earlier and buy land and build a house in advance.

After breaking through Pyongyang, Xiao Hei and his team were divided into an alley. This is the practice of the Luo family army. Whether it is to break through the bandit fortress or take down the enemy city, after the battle is over, the regiments will be divided into pieces, and then they will be responsible Collectively hunt down the remnants of the enemy, and search for loot such as money and silk.

What Xiao Hei likes to do most is this task. This task is not dangerous, and it always makes people feel happy when they find the loot. Swallowing a single penny, he will let all the military clerks enter the account, and finally divide it according to the Luo family army's practice.

Part of it is used as a pension subsidy for the dead and disabled soldiers, part of it is used as a reward for meritorious soldiers, part is reserved for military use, and the last part is used to adopt orphans and teenagers as step-heirs to the fallen soldiers, and the rest, Then they will be taken out and distributed to the whole army.

He knocked open a lacquered door, and the little black leader began to search. He must be rich if he could varnish the door. The lacquer is extremely valuable these days.

"Search carefully, and don't miss any corners. If you find someone, you must interrogate them separately." Xiao Hei is already familiar with the road and has rich experience.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he immediately confessed to the brothers below.

"Captain officer, don't worry." A group of spearmen said with a smile.

"Lieutenant, found the underground chamber." A spearman shouted hastily.

Xiao Hei hurried over to check, and found that there was indeed a secret door under a rockery in the courtyard, but the door was blocked.Based on his experience, he immediately concluded that there must be someone inside.

"Take the smoke first, and then smash it with the wood."

Lacquered door, secret room, there must be something good, Xiao Hei is very excited.According to the Luo Family Army's practice, although the confiscated spoils were returned to the public, a certain percentage of the spoils confiscated by the regiments and battalions could be directly shared as their rewards.

If there were a lot of confiscations and seizures, the commission would not be a small sum, and it might allow him to buy a few more acres of land in his hometown.

Smoke rose, and a spearman vigorously fanned the smoke in. Sure enough, there was a coughing sound from inside after a while, and then everyone slammed on the door, and the door of the secret room opened.

A group of spearmen rushed in.

Soon, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from inside, Xiao Hei frowned, and quickly raised the horizontal knife and rushed in.

When he rushed in, he found that the brothers who went in first had fallen to the ground in a mess. Xiao Hei's eyes were red, and he raised his knife and slashed over.

There are dozens of people hiding in the secret room, and a group of servants guard a Goguryeo official and his family members.

It's just that it's no use for these people to resist any more. After a while, Xiao Hei and the others killed all these dozens of people.

Xiao Hei was not injured, but he was very angry. He had already broken through Pyongyang and the war was over, but now five brothers in his team died here. They didn't deserve to die.

Angry Xiao Hei and the others killed all the men in the secret room, and he had several angry brothers under him, so he wanted to vent his anger on the group of female relatives.

It just so happened that Luo Cheng led Bai Ma Yi from patrolling the city at that time, and when he heard the shouts of killing, he came over and stopped the group of people in time.

Otherwise, with Luo Cheng's military law, although Xiao Hei and the others would have no problem killing those Goguryeo people who resisted, they would definitely be dealt with by the military law if they dared to rape a woman.

Luo Cheng personally inquired about the situation, then comforted Xiao Hei and the others, and finally he asked people to take those women away.

Originally, Xiao Hei thought that this matter was over.

Unexpectedly, that night, Luo Cheng came to their team with two jars of good wine.

"Don't be too polite. I'm not here for inspection. I just came to meet you for a drink. You don't have to be too polite. You see, I didn't bring a single officer with me today, just because I was afraid that you would be too restrained."

Luo Cheng generally doesn't drink, especially in the army.

But today, he came to look for Xiao Hei with wine.

"I remember you, Xiao Hei from Shuinanli, Changbai Township, you were the first batch of brave youths I recruited." Luo Cheng patted Xiao Hei who was a little nervous.

Xiao Hei didn't expect the general to still remember him. When he thought about it, although he was the first group of people to join the village regiment, but after a few years, the general has tens of thousands of people under his command. How can he still remember him as a small team deputy? .

"Call all the brothers in your team. I know that your team is on vacation today. Anyway, you are not on duty and you have no mission. Let's have a drink together. It's not against military regulations."

Xiao Hei was still a little restrained at first, but after chatting with Luo Cheng, he found that although he is now a Marquis, he still has no airs, and he talked a lot about the old things when he was in the village group, Xiao Hei gradually became less nervous Restrained.

On the contrary, there are quite a few spearmen in Xiaohei's team. They used to hear Xiaohei brag about what happened when he followed the general, but they didn't quite believe it. In their thinking, if Xiaohei really had such qualifications, would he still be a team? vice?

Not to mention that Xiao Hei once said that Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er had worked under Xiao Hei.

Luo Cheng put down his airs, poured wine for everyone, and talked about miscellaneous things, but he always started every time, and then quietly listened to everyone's chat.

Luo Cheng likes to listen to everyone chatting. He also likes to go down to the lowest level and listen to the voices of the brothers at the bottom. More real voices.

I can also hear many people's reflections on some problems of Luo Jiajun. Usually it is difficult to hear directly from the mouths of the generals around me, but now I can hear it directly.

"Our team leader Zhao was a very brave man from Hebei. Unfortunately, when we attacked Miyagi, he was stabbed to death by a Goguryeo man with a spear." Xiao Hei said a little disappointed, "Captain Zhao is the fifth soldier since I conquered Liao Dynasty. Team leader."

The leader of the team needs to be at the forefront of the team, and has the highest casualty rate, even higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

After drinking until midnight, Luo Cheng left.

The next day, Xiao Hei woke up with a headache, and before he was fully awake, an order came down from above, and he was promoted to the leader of the team, and he was awarded the rank of ninth rank.

In addition to being promoted, the higher-ups also sent him a sum of money, which was a hundred guan.

"This is the receipt. The money is put in the account of joining the army. The money is our general's own money. It is said to be given to you. Although it is not a lot of money, it is enough to make up for the cost of buying two hundred acres of land to build a house. For the poor part, it can even help you marry a wife."

In an instant, Xiao Hei's blood surged up, and he had the idea that even if there was a sea of ​​swords and swords in front of him, as long as General Luo said a word, he would be willing to fight for him.
